Issa: Mayorkas has thwarted the mission of his office, must be impeached

February 6, 2024

Today, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) offered the following remarks on the House floor in support of the resolution to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas:
 
“The Secretary is being impeached for what he did wrong. He is, in fact, guilty as alleged, but he is just part of the high crimes and misdemeanors of the President of the United States.
 
“It was the President’s decision to undo policies that were working – to reverse, to make a systematic change that, in my district with over 55 miles of Mexican border, my border agents are reduced to being Uber drivers for everyone coming over the border.
 
“I am perfectly willing to listen to people say ‘Well this is a policy difference’ – but it is not.
 
“To faithfully execute the mission, you can have differences in how to do it. To thwart the very execution of that mission – which Secretary Mayorkas has done – is, in fact, an impeachable offense.”
